- Summary:
-
"While the murder of nearly 90 per cent of Greek Jews by the Nazis has begun to enter the Holocaust story, the participation of Greek Jews in the war against the Nazis is virtually unknown. Greek Jews actively fought in the war against the Italian and German invaders. Based on interviews and archival research the author has assembled a preliminary list of over 650 individuals who fought or served with the Greek Resistance forces. These include andartes and andartissas, interpreters, recruiters, doctors, spies, nurses, organizers and a number of non-Greek Jews who volunteered or were trapped in Greece during the war years."--BOOK JACKET.
